I had that happen to me once. The Opossum became road pizza.

Maybe instead it is a feral pig and they do not know the difference? ;-)

Knew that I could make it if I tried.

“..Nasty critters, but at least they don’t carry rabies....”

LOL..yeah. But when they’re not eating Costo cakes, they eat ticks....lots and lots of ticks. One shouldn’t kill em for that reason alone.

[Hot Tabasco]

“We’ve all been there, girl,”

Don't speak for me, I shoot them......

[Hot Tabasco]

I try to remind him that they kill snakes and eat ticks.

Not many ticks in my suburban neighborhood. They just dig up the ground looking for grubs with the damn skunks.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Rest assured, you husband isn’t going to put them on the Endangered Species List.

[sauropod]

They play dead but they don’t stay dead.

[hellinahandcart]

I wish they would eat squirrels.

So possum and grits for supper?

My Dad always said that he didn't like possum at all because it was full of grease.   Growing up in The Great Depression was worse than any of us could imagine.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

You don’t have to lead them as much.

Ear-Bending Cellmate : ...and when there was no meat, we ate fowl and when there was no fowl, we ate crawdad and when there was no crawdad to be found, we ate sand.

H.I. : You ate what?

Ear-Bending Cellmate : We ate sand.

[pause]



H.I. : You ate SAND?

Ear-Bending Cellmate : That's right!

Hey, a possum with a cake interior might be good eating.

Oh, man, I need more coffee!

Yeah, you heard “’possum” instead of “parcel” though.

Upon opening the door, her son quickly shut it and refused to go back out.

I guess they raise young men different these days. When I was 21 if a possum ate my Costco chocolate cake I would have killed it without hesitation simply out of principal.

No nasty rodent is going to eat my cake even if mom was begging me for clemency for the filthy beast.

Mom your son is a wimp take him down to the enlistment center and leave him there.

I had to look this up. I may have been into a Costco once, decades ago.

Wow, no wonder possums are fat. Can ya blame the critter? I hope it wasn't a girl possum because she now she has the giltz, worried that her dress makes her look fat.

[oldasrocks]

Around here they get lead poisoning.

[omni-scientist]

Could it be that possum was pregnant?

There is a meme of a dog that's
"into fitness. Fitness this whole pizza into my mouth."

But this rodent takes the cake!
